    Default Irish shopping

    McQuillan walked into a bar and ordered martini after martini, each time removing the olives and placing them in a jar. When the jar was filled with olives and all the drinks consumed, he started to leave.

    "S'cuse me," said a customer, who was puzzled over what McQuillan had done. "What was that all about?"

    "Nothing," he replied, "my wife just sent me out for a jar of olives."

    Jimy-Joe went to a pet shop and asked how many budgies were in stock. "We have 99" replied the shop owner "Give us the lot" said the Jimmy-Joe, paid for them and left. He went to a tailors shop and had 99 pockets sewn into a jacket, put a budgie in each pocket, went up to the Post Office Tower and jumped off.

    He hit the ground with an almighty smack and lay there groaning until a passer-by came and asked him what had happened. "I don't know sur" he replied "but that's the last time I try that budgie jumping"

    That'd be funnier to me if I knew what a budgie was. The only two uses I know are the old British metal band and my wife uses the word for parakeets.

    I know, I got that. But like I said, I'd understand it better knowing what a budgie is.

    A budgie is short for budgerigar.

    Because they are Budgies.

    [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budgerigar"]Budgerigar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Micks will drink practically anything if their normal fare is not available.

    True, but I've only recently stopped drinking a martini every evening, becoming more partial to scotch.

    Are they related to the well known Scots Ben Doon and Phil McCavity?

    I know many Scotch drinkers. It is apparently an acquired taste.

    I prefer water. Ice cold water.
